August in Pictures:

Gracie June had her first dentist appointment. Her teeth look great, but she has a slight underbite.

Neighborhood Back to School Bash

And it's time for back to school! Caycen started 1st grade and Gracie June started Pre-k at McAllister.

 Gracie June has Ms. Bocook and Mrs. Cox (Mrs. Cox is below)

Caycen has Mrs. Pickett

Ms. Bocook sent me Gracie June's picture on the first day of school!

And Mrs. Pickett sent me this picture of Caycen from the first day of school!

Gracie June's bookbag is about as big as her!

Mommy and Daddy day lunch date! We ate at Charlie Graingers and it's DANG GOOD!!!

Caycen got to share his "All About Me" bag at school.

Tired little mama!

Gracie June and her many outfits!

 Gracie June and Caycen had their yearly check-ups. Poor Gracie June had to get several shots and a finger prick. Caycen only had a finger prick, but he cried as much as she did! We told GJ that she doesn't have to have shots again until she's 11 and now she says she doesn't want anymore birthdays.

More outfits for GJ

Caycen did Taikwando  (however you spell it) for the first month of school. But then he decided he didn't like it that much, so he's not doing it anymore.

August was a busy month starting the school year and getting into a new routine. It was also my first time not going to work as a teacher in 9 years! I'm not gonna lie, I LOVE being able to be so involved with my kiddos at school! I LOVE their teachers and we are just SO blessed this year!!!!

July - Part 3

We celebrated Gracie June's birthday with our traditional donuts, she had balloons all in her room, she popped them all to find $4, then we spent the day at the pool. Gracie June also ended up having Grandma and Capri come stay at our house for her birthday!  It was so much fun celebrating my sweet girl's 4th birthday! You can watch the video of our day here. 

We FINALLY moved into our new house the day after Gracie June's birthday. My mom came down to help us move and she stayed the whole week! We had so much fun having my mom here for so long. She was such a BLESSING to us during the move! That woman has way more energy that my 31 year old self!!! I don't know how she does it!

We celebrated Capri's birthday with donuts for her birthday and then we even made some chocolate chip cookies that night. I was so glad that we got to spend her special day with her!!!

Before Grandma and Capri went home, we took Capri shopping and to get a pedicure. It was some much needed girl time.

We have been fishing in our pond behind the house. I was the first to catch a fish LOL!

We got a welcome basket from our neighborhood social committee. We are absolutely loving it in the neighborhood already!

Summer has come to an end, but we are so excited for what's in store for our little family. Life is so busy, but we wouldn't have it any other way. God has blessed us in so many ways and we are so excited to be able to share our blessings with others! I am so grateful for my wonderful husband, my two precious kids, my family, my friends, and our community.
